Trump’s Legal Problems Could Get Much Worse After Tuesday: Report

Granted, it seems like we’ve been waiting for an eternity to see Donald Trump indicted and placed on trial for various criminal charges including bank and insurance fraud as well as money laundering and conspiracy. The question, however, keeps being asked: When do we reach the denouement that sees justice catch up with him?

While none of us are good at predicting the future, two longtime political operatives, Arick Wierson and Bradley Honan, believe Tuesday’s election in New York — most notably the race for District Attorney of Manhattan — is the matchup to watch because it could be very bad news for the failed, one-term former president.

In an op-ed they penned for CNN, Wierson and Honan write:

“Whoever wins the election will be handed a caseload that will include, in all likelihood, the prosecution of the Trump Organization in what could be the most consequential legal case in our nation’s modern history. For more than two years, the office of Cy Vance Jr., the current Manhattan DA, has been conducting a sprawling investigation into the inner workings of the Trump Organization’s finances stemming in part from hush money payments made to women who said they had extramarital affairs with Trump (which he has denied). The Manhattan DA’s office has also suggested it is looking into allegations that the Trump Organization inflated property values in statements to lenders and insurers while undervaluing assets for tax purposes.”

Vance is retiring at the end of the year, so whoever replaces him will have a lot on their plate when it comes to the Trump family and Trump Organization. Right now, that appears to come down to two candidates:

“Many political insiders believe it’s really a two-horse race between Democratic candidates Tali Farhadian Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor and general counsel for the Brooklyn district attorney, and Alvin Bragg, a prosecutor in the state attorney general’s office.”

Weinstein is the wife of a hedge fund manager, Boaz Weinstein, and also interviewed with the Trump administration to fill a federal judgeship which was never offered to her. However, her coziness with the Wall Street crowd could hurt her chances of winning the D.A.’s race.

Alvin Bragg’s base of support is in Harlem and he has also been endorsed by the New York Times. The fact he has experience as a prosecutor is certainly an advantage for him as he seeks to be the top law enforcement official in the borough of Manhattan.

No matter who prevails when the votes are counted, he or she may wind up making a major name for themselves by prosecuting the Donald and his company, Wierson and Honan conclude:

“If Vance’s office doesn’t bring charges before he leaves office, then it will be left to the incoming DA to make that call, and come January 2022, the new Manhattan DA will be drinking from the fire hose with no time to ease into the job — which suggests that someone with high-level prosecutorial experience might be best positioned to succeed this time around.

“With numerous candidates on the ballot, Manhattan voters must choose wisely come Tuesday; whoever ends up winning the Manhattan DA race must not only have the wisdom and moral compass that the role has always required, but ample amounts of strength, fortitude, political smarts and cojones to take on the former president.”

Whoever wins will forever endear themselves to the people of New York and the majority of the nation if they continue to move forward aggressively and LOCK TRUMP UP!

Roger Stone Admits The Jig Is Up – Trump Is About To Be Indicted

Roger Stone — who can best be described as Donald Trump’s longtime friend, confidant, and ass weasel — is a man so filled with vile intent and dirty tricks (many of them both illegal and immoral) that he’s the perfect wingman for the equally dark and twisted failed, one-term president.

Yet despite Stone’s perverted devotion to Trump, even he can sense that Donald’s days of freedom are drawing to a close, and he’s saying exactly that in his own half-witted and unctuous manner, telling the equally disgusting Alex Jones, host of “InfoWars” that indictments are about to be handed down against Trump:

“I would be shocked if they did not come forward with a fabricated indictment for bank fraud or tax fraud against the former president [Donald Trump] by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.”

That wasn’t all Stone had to say on the matter of Trump’s pending indictment in New York. He also began providing excuses and rationalizations for Trump’s lifetime crime spree:

“Let’s be very clear. In other words, as you said it earlier, you show the man, and I’ll show you the crime. They’re allowed to root through this man’s business record of forty years, in which he built a real estate empire second to none, combing for a crime, they have no evidence of a crime, they have no probable cause. It is disgraceful, but I do think it is going to happen.”

See how Stone tried to spin what he knows is about to happen? That way he can say he say he’s ahead of the curve while still being a loyal ass fly to Trump and staying on his good side, which is kind of the least thing he can do since he got a pardon from Donnie in the last days of the Trump administration.

But if you want to know what’s really taking place in Manhattan and what we can expect in the months ahead, consider what Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen told MSNBC recently, predicting that when Trump is finally charged, those charges will be far-reaching and devastating:

“But it wasn’t just the Trump Organization. It was Donald’s personal accounts. It was the kids’ business accounts, presidential inaugural committee, campaign. Any penny that had anything to do with Donald Trump went through Allen Weisselberg’s desk. I do believe that he has significant exposure, and I think his exposure is not one that you can just hide because the beautiful thing about numbers is numbers don’t lie.”

Donald Trump lies, but the numbers don’t. And the numbers are what will finally bring the former president before the bar of justice.

Former Watergate Prosecutor Reveals What Will ‘Wipe Out’ The Trump Organization

Even though he faces at least 10 civil lawsuits (E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit, Summer Zervos defamation suit, Mary Trump’s fraud lawsuit, etc.) a former White House prosecutor says it won’t be any of those actions that will leave the Trump Organization bankrupt.

Jill Wine-Banks appeared on MSNBC and noted that while any of the 10 civil suits could result in multi-million dollar settlements, they won’t be what eventually bankrupts Trump and his company:

“His popularity has diminished greatly. His properties are of less value now. Many buildings are taking the name Trump off of them because it is a deterrent to people, either playing golf at his golf courses or a deterrent to people buying condos in his buildings. So, it will hurt his bottom line both in terms of penalties — think about how many millions he may owe the federal government on the long-festering audit that he said was the reason he couldn’t turn over his financial records. Think about the bank loans that we know are coming due, and his income has gone down as best everybody can tell from all the reporting.”

Those bank loans, Wine-banks continued, are an enormous threat to Trump’s financial bottom line:

“So, where is he going to get the money to pay back those loans, and now a lot of banks will simply not lend to him anymore. So, how is he going to change the source of income to pay back the original lender with new lenders? So, it could totally wipe out the Trump Organization. There are some questions about some fraud in real estate and in defrauding people who bought condos. All of that mounts up, and eventually, the money runs out. So, he should be worried not just about whether he will be charged with a crime and whether a jury will convict him, but with being bankrupted.”

One of those loans is from Deutsche Bank, and it totals $340 million. The German bank has cut its ties to Trump and has also hinted it will seize the former president’s assets if he cannot come up with the millions he owes.

Business is way down at Trump properties, thanks in part to COVID fears and because the Trump name is now poison due to his failures as president.

The Trump Organization is hanging by a thread financially. And in the next few months we could see it collapse completely.

Trump Org. Insider: Donald Is About To Throw His Kids Under The Bus To Save Himself

What do you suppose Donald Trump’s first thoughts were when he found out that a new grand jury had been empaneled in Manhattan as the investigation into him and the Trump Organization escalates?

Safe to say he was angry, even enraged. After all, this is a man who believes he’s above the law.

After the anger came fear, a cold chill up his spine and neck as images flashed into his brain of him being handcuffed and marched off to a prison cell somewhere in New York.

And then, after the anger, beyond the fear, was likely this thought: Who can I sacrifice to save myself? Who is expendable?

According to Barbara Res, the former Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, everyone is expendable to Donald Trump, including his own children.

Res was a guest on MSNBC Saturday, telling host Alex Witt what she believes is going on inside Trump’s head right now:

“Well, first of all, I think he’s going berserk

“I think he’s so angry. All the things that he put in place, the things he put in place to get elected the first time and almost get elected the second time, both were unreasonably based, and all the other things, the attorney general and the kinds of — the judges and all the things that he thought he had working for him all of a sudden are not there anymore. it’s — he can’t avoid this. This happened and this is something he thought he could avoid.”

Berserk. What an apt description of the deeply unstable failed, one-term former president, and it led Res to note that Trump will do whatever it takes to save his own hide:

“And I’m sure he’s looking for people to blame. He’s screaming at people, everybody, he’s probably blaming [Allen] Weisselberg, he’s blaming his sons, his daughter, you know, anyone that’s available to him. And he will, I think, throw any one of them under the bus to protect himself.”

Sound farfetched? Do you find it hard to believe Donald would feed his beloved Ivanka to the wolves? It’s textbook behavior for someone with narcissistic personality disorder, which the former president clearly suffers from.

At this very moment, Donald Trump is scheming and looking for an exit. It doesn’t matter who he has to destroy in order to protect himself, even his own flesh and blood.

Of course, Donnie should keep something in mind: His family may have already turned on him and sold him out to protect themselves. Betrayal, after all, is a two-way street.

Former Federal Prosecutor Warns That Trump’s Supporters May Launch Terrorist Attacks If He’s Indicted

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner says that the news Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. has stepped up his investigation of former President Donald Trump by empaneling a grand jury that will meet three days a week for six months could well lead to some of Trump’s supporters turning to violence and domestic terrorism.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out,” Kirschner began by discussing the acceleration of efforts by Vance as he looks at Trump and the Trump Organization:

“I agree that the DA empaneling this extraordinary grand jury, which will sit for six months as opposed to four weeks, doesn’t guarantee Trump will be indicted. It’s clearly the last stop on the road to an indictment. And every data point we have seen from the district attorney’s office trends toward indictment, whether it was the two-year battle to get his tax returns and his financials, two trips to the Supreme Court, they finally got ahold of it. They spent considerable New York taxpayer dollars hiring an expensive forensic accounting firm to help them unravel those documents. They then brought on board an expert mob former prosecutor as part of the team. Now they have empaneled a special grand jury to hear all the testimony of the witnesses and lock them in.”

Then Kirschner — who once worked for former Special Counsel Robert Mueller — warned that in a statement the ex-president released after the Washington Post broke the story about the new Manhattan grand jury, Trump claimed the entire investigation was an attack on not just on him, but on “us,” meaning those who still support him. That could set off a wave of terror attacks and violence by his supporters:

“I think there is a threat of violence. In the statement that Donald Trump made — we have seen this movie before. What did he put out a statement saying in response to [D.A. Cy] Vance’s announcement that there is a special grand jury being empaneled? He said, this is an affront not to me, to my 75 million followers, supporters, voters. What is he doing? He is trying to pull them in his criminal orbit. He is sending a signal, if I get indicted, you are figuratively getting indicted. What are you going to do about that? We have seen this movie before. He did it on January 6th when he lost the election.”

Thankfully, we now have a president and attorney general who will not tolerate such actions and are more than capable of responding to anyone who carries out violence in the name of Donald Trump.
